    [QUOTE]Oh my goodness, not only was I ranting but you have all taken this out of context. I simply asked for advice, not to be bombarded by rude people. Excuse me for being a little stressed out. I never asked my family to help pay for my wedding but they insisted.

Maybe I should have stated that to begin with, what I SHOULD have said was that since they want this big formal affair shouldn't they be helping with it? Yes I deleted my last comment because it was rude but forgive me, you guys aren't exactly pleasent minus the few that actually understood that half of this was ranting and that I would have liked some actual helpful advice on the situation.

    If they aren't paying they get little say. Don't let them walk all over you. Just say you get % of the guest list which = X. If they aren't paying then they can't make you have a formal affair that you don't want.

    So you think your guest list should be only your family?

    I have not met half of FI's list either.  Just like he has not half of mine.  Why is that an issue?

    If you dont want a big "formal affair"  then DONT HAVE ONE.

    You got good advice.  You did not get a pat on the back.  Those of us on the international boards tend to not sugar coat things, and give you the advice you really need.

    No one said you begged your family for money.  We're saying not to beg your FILs for money.

    You are well within your rights to tell your FILs that you will only be able to accommodate X number of their guests, but make sure that amount is equivalent to what your family gets (not necessarily person to person, but that they aren't getting shafted).

    And seriously, stop getting so fuucking defensive.  It's annoying as hell.  If you want to whine I'd suggest your local or club board.  They'll blow as many sparkles up your ass as it can hold.

    I guess that's what it comes down to, I guess I just don't know how to go about telling his parents.. well mostly his mom, that we need to cut down their side of the guest list without her having a fit. Thanks though for the advice.

    Yes Blueeyed.  I mean hell, they gave birth to me.  Those biitches owe me.  All the shiit I had to endure all my life, just because they brought me into this world.  FUUCK THEM! 

    For real, though, my parents offered us money because I told them we were JOPing it and my parents wanted the party.  We told them we weren't paying for a party we didn't even want, so they said they'd help out.  I would have much preferred The JOP, but we did what we did to please parents on both sides.

    If your ILS aren't paying they don't have any say in the size of the guestlist. Give them a set number of people and don't let them go beyond that.

    Your FI needs to be the one to talk to his parents (not bring up money) and explain to them the number of guests they will be able to invite and why.  It's not your job to talk to them.

    Almost our situation to a T... FI and I talked about Vegas/JOP/etc.  Then the fams got involved but it's been really fun so far to plan and I'm really excited all of our friends/family will be there to celebrate with us.

    Way to work the cew biitch factor into this, as of then, complelely unrelated thread.  I'm loving that!

    OP--yes, if your parents are paying, work out a budget, and then present to FI's parents with the number of guests within that budget that they can invite.  When they try to add, "oops, no, that's not in the budget".  Done.

    And if you are not paying for the wedding, you have little say in the list as well.

    OP- If I were you I would determine a budget, set a guest count number, and let each side know what you are doing.  If IL's want to be able to invite more people, then they most likely will offer to pay for an extended list on their side.

    If your parents are paying for the whole thing, then they get a HUGE say in what goes down.  Be prepared for that.

    The DIY projects I'm taking on may drive me insane but I wanted to do them (and the whole budget-friendly aspect got me goin') but yeah, I keep thinking of how much fun it will be for everyone when it all comes together.  And (here comes the sappy-ness) I can't wait to say my vows to FI...awwwwwwww.  :P

    Some people would say this is a no-no but my parents talked to FI's parents. Well, let's say they <em>tried </em>to talk to FI's parents, his dad ducked like a freakin bobble head. My mom did the STDs so when she sent the box for FI's parent's side she had a note in it that was like "You get X number, we get X number and Jenna and FI get X number."

    I can see how that would be the case for some other people, but my parents aren't overbearing and they want me to be happy so my parents and I have equal say in everything.  Thankfully we tend to be on the same page with most things. With exception to my mom hijacking my STDs, of course, that was bad!
